`SPEGIIEIAZIION .forming part of Letters Patent No. 284,322, dated September 4, 1883.

Application filed May 9, mss. (Nomodel.) p

To @ZZ whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, J AMEs OLIvER, of South Bend, in the county of St. Joseph and State of Indiana, have invented certain new and useful Improvements inA Golter-Brackets for' Plows; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as willenable Others skilled in the art to which it appertains to `make and use the same.

My invention relates to an improvement in plows, and more particularlyto the colterbrackets thereof', the object being to simplify the construction and operation of the said parts. v-

With this object in view my invention consists in certain details of construction and combinations of parts, as will be hereinafter described, and Apointed out in the claims.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure l is a-view,in elevation of a plow embodying my invention. Fig.` 2 is a detached view of the upper end ofl the standard. Fig. 3 is a detached view of the colter-bracket, and Fig. 4 is a similar reverse view thereo The standard A is united to the plow-beam B by means of a single bolt,C, provided with a nut, D. Every time the relative position of the beam to the standard is changed it is turned `upon the bolt C as a fulcrum, the nut D being loosened for the purpose of such adjustment. The forward portion of the upper edge of the said standard is provided with a recess, E, of equal depth throughout, and having a curved rear wall, the said recess Vbeing adapted to receive the rounded bearing F of the braceG of the colter-bracket, which consists, essentially, of the frame H, the iiange I, and the said brace G, all cast integral.

The frame H of the bracket is provided with one or more slots, J, which receive the bolts employed to attach the colter to the bracket, the slots being elongated to permit the colter to be vertically adjusted, as required.

The flange I is transversed by a segmental Slot, K, extending at right angles with respect l to the `plow-beam I3. A bolt, L, provided with a nut, M, extends through the said beam and slot, as shown. This slot permits the bracket to be adjusted laterally to cause the colter attached to it to cut more or less earth, as desired, and tobe set on a line with the landside of the plow.

As above described, the bearing F of the E of the standard H, the said bearing moving colter-bracket is adjusted. In virtue of this construction the bracket may be removed and replaced and adjusted without disturbing the bolt which unites the beam and standard, and hence the relative adjustment ofthe said parts. I would have. it understood that I do not limit myself to the exact construction shown and described, but hold myself at liberty to make such changes and alterations as fairly fall within the spirit and scope of my invention.

Having fully described my invention, what I claim as new, Vand desire lto secure by Letters Patent, is-

l. The combination, with a plow-standard having a bearing-recess, E, of a coltenbracket provided with an elongated slot, K, and entensionfF, the latter adapted to engage in the recess E, and a boltextending through the to the beam, Substantially as set forth.

A2. In combination with a plow, a colterbracket adjustably secured to the plow-beam, and provided with a brace having a rounded bearing, .the forward portion of the upper edge of the standard being suitably recessed to receive said bearing, substantially as set forth.

vIn testimony whereof I have Signed this specication in the presence of two Subscribing witnesses.
